    I find this most interesting:

    We ran a survey earlier in the game for players to vote on their favorite characters. The 12 most popular 4-Star Characters and 8 most popular 5-Stars will be featured in a special store with increased odds. 

    Interested to see who the 20 characters are.

    Also excited for new boss event and can't wait to hear more!

    In Gambit's store, will CS do swaps for OML or PHX like they did for the Cosmic Legendary store?  IIRC, they didn't do swaps for Panther in the DD store.

    @Brigby who are the 8 5* and 12 4* characters that will be in the special token?

    also any information on the contents of the anniversary vault?  Thanks!

    @Brigby, for the customers choice LT store, will they swap the covers if we pull a duplicate cover for 5*? 

    i think that is the most important question on our mind, ok, my mind right now.

    So it sounds like a boss event is after Webbed Wonder. If the 4* rewarded is Vulture or Teen Jean then that would be amazing.

    Good. I was hoping for a Apocalypse boss back when I the movie came out. Guessing the side-missions will have lots of Daken, Mystique, Magneto, and... uh, Daken?
    Sad to see lazy 3/5, but at least 5 looks noticably stronger.
    Danger Room Versus? How is it different from Children of the Atom?
    Let's be Frank!? If you're doing 4* Versus, why not an X-men one? It's been so long, pretty sure players will forgive you for near-complete X-Men saturation.

    Not a fan of a 3 and a 5 star as for me, I'm in 4 star territory so i really don't want to waste a slot on either. 

    I hope vulture is a featured favorite as mine is almost done.

    Modern Gambit is just a pic of Channing Tatum

    also, I start with the complains, why the double iso week begins with a boss event...

    The moment it sets in that you dumped your CP hoard to cover Thanos as best you could because they're just not adding Mutants to the game...only to cover Star Lord, a character you despise because he's part of the forced GotG/Inhumans push...

    And then the 5* Gambit cover store comes with increased odds for Logan and Jean.

    I think they just sucked the fun out of the game for me. Hope Anniversary is better for the rest of you.

    I can't find the part in the article where the level cap for shield ranks has been increased from 125.

    Five star gambit? You gotta be kidding me. You have murdered the five star division. The first fives were Phoenix and Surfer... now you have total losers as five stars like every Avenger not named Hulk, and you add Gambit? Yeah, when I think Gambit, I think oh yeah that dude is as strong as Phoenix. For sure.

    I've been coming to this site for years and this finally made me post. Because it's enraging.

    I believe The Punisher Netflix show releases sometime in October

    Yeah, kinda disappointed about Phoenix simply cause I have a fully covered version, but get why they included her since this new multiple 5 star store is going to be a thing.

    @FrostKnux,

    5 star is not about in-universe power, it's about rarity simple as that. Looking at it from your view, many many 4 star shouldn't be 4s because they are not strong enough.

    Questions for @Brigby

    1. 5* Gambit Rajin' Cajun (Purple): if the enemy team has no special tiles, will he create countdown out of basic tiles?
    2. 5* Gambit Aces & Eights (Red): since the damage dealt is so much greater for "random" charged tiles destroyed, will the power default to destroying charged tiles and ONLY destroy basic tiles if there are no/not enough charged tiles?
    3. Will CS exchange duplicate covers from the Players Choice store?

    Almost exact question set I was going to post. 
    Any chance Gambit's purple can replace enemy CD's as part of the Special Tiles requisite? This would be great vs Panthos etc.

    Dude, I'm so looking forward to 5* Gambit. Hopefully my hoard will be ready while he's still in Latest.

    That black passive looks amaze-balls. Everyone's always wanted an AP generating goon on their team. Now Gambit gets 3 red and 3 purple every turn to fuels his own powers? That's crazy! Teams well with charged tile makers. BB/SS/Gambit new dominating 5* team?

    EDIT: He'd also be great with everyone's favorite, Thanos/BP. Just can't fire Thanos' purple, which isn't that useful anyways.

    Are you trying to tell me that Peggy Carter ISN'T really four times as strong as Juggernaut?

    Trying to think of teammates that could stun him or send him airborne to disable his passive temporarily, but all I can come up with is:

    Punisher: Doesn't work because he stuns both allies and doesn't use red or purple.
    Gwenpool. Can use her purple. Decent.
    Thano5: Can get his purple out, I guess? Eh.
    Colossus: Works well but is it really worth bringing him when his powers suck and his black costs a ton?

    It's almost like they planned it this way.
